Use the uploaded personal photo as the sole identity reference. Preserve the person's recognizable facial structure, eyes, eyebrows, nose, lips, jawline, skin tone, hairline, natural hair color, and visible body proportions. Use any styling reference only for the scene and clothing, never for the face or physique. Do not beautify, slim, reshape, enlarge lips, or substitute a generic model face. Keep natural skin texture, subtle pores, and realistic tonal variation.
Create an ultra-realistic vertical street-style photograph of a woman sitting at a glass bus shelter with an iced coffee. The mood is relaxed and casually stylish: a coffee break on a New York shopping street, photographed by a friend. This is an environmental smartphone portrait, not a close-up beauty shot or staged fashion campaign.
Use a 3:4 vertical composition with substantial architectural headroom. Place the subject in the lower center-right, with her head beginning roughly 43 percent down from the top. Show her seated body, bare legs extending toward the bottom edge, the foreground handbag, and the metal bench. Crop out the feet. Let buildings and the transparent shelter occupy much of the upper half. Photograph from slightly above her seated eye level, looking gently downward without wide-angle stretching.
Seat her sideways on a gray perforated-metal public bench with large circular seat holes and curved polished stainless-steel armrests. Her body turns three-quarter toward the viewer's left; the knees point toward the lower-left foreground. She leans forward slightly, shoulders relaxed. The hand on the viewer's left holds a small clear iced-coffee cup near her chin, away from her lips. Her other forearm rests loosely across her lap. Turn her face toward the viewer's left, looking just past the camera, with a subtle closed-mouth smile. Keep the pose unforced, with convincing contact between body and bench.
Dress her in a slightly oversized deep navy tailored blazer with notched lapels, lightly structured shoulders, loose sleeves, and small metallic cuff buttons. Underneath, reveal only a narrow glimpse of a simple white crew-neck top. Pair it with a short dark navy skirt, largely concealed by the blazer and seated pose. Keep the upper thighs and lower legs bare, with the person's original skin tone and proportions. The blazer falls loosely around the hips, with believable folds at the elbows and waist.
Place a compact chestnut-brown suede shoulder bag on the bench in the lower-right foreground, immediately beside her hip, not across her lap. Use a softly rectangular body with rounded corners, brown leather edging, a short curved strap standing in an arch, and understated silver-tone attachments. The strap visually overlaps the dark outfit. Keep any tiny hardware emblem unobtrusive and the bag proportionate. Add small gold hoop earrings; no sunglasses or conspicuous extra jewelry.
The coffee is a small clear plastic takeaway cup filled with creamy light-tan iced latte, visible ice, a little pale foam, and a transparent flat snap-on lid. No straw. Show subtle condensation and believable finger contact. Hold it upright below cheek height, clear of the face.
Preserve the person's natural hair color, hairline, and reference length. Where length allows, arrange the hair loosely over the shoulders and down the back with soft natural waves, a near-center part, and light, wispy curtain fringe that separates around the forehead. Let a few strands fall casually beside the cheeks while keeping the eyes visible. Keep individual strands and a slightly imperfect finish. Use restrained everyday makeup: natural satin skin, subtle cheek color, softly defined existing brows and lashes, and muted rosy-brown lips without overlining or facial reshaping.
Build a detailed city sidewalk scene. Behind her on the viewer's right, place a transparent glass bus shelter with a shallow pale-blue glass canopy, rectangular silver-gray supports, and layered street reflections. Include a narrow blue vertical sign reading "Broadway & Grand Street" in white lettering. Farther right, a partially cropped advertising panel adds muted blue, red, and amber graphics without becoming a focal point.
Across the street, show an elegant off-white cast-iron-style building with tall storefront windows, slender decorative columns, ornamental window surrounds, and white external fire escapes and railings across the upper-left background. Continue the block with restrained beige and brown facades. Add a dark ornamental streetlamp, a hanging navy banner, and a few naturally spaced distant pedestrians. Show a reddish-brown bus lane, white road markings, a curb, worn gray paving slabs, rectangular sidewalk grates, and subtle surface scuffs. The street is dry.
Use soft natural daytime light, with the subject mostly in open shade and the pale architecture across the street brighter. Use gentle facial illumination with mild shadows under the fringe and chin. Add restrained reflections on the shelter glass, steel rails, cup lid, and bag hardware. Preserve deep navy fabric detail, the suede's matte nap, and natural skin highlights. Avoid direct flash, orange sunset grading, and dramatic backlighting.
Photography style: believable handheld smartphone street portrait, approximately 28-35mm-equivalent perspective, moderate environmental depth, recognizable background architecture, mild natural softness, fine subtle noise, and minimal retouching. Keep the face readable without sharpening every pore. Balance cool gray metal and navy clothing against cream facades, chestnut suede, and pale coffee tones. Avoid an artificially perfected advertising look.
Negative prompt: changed identity, copied reference-model face, altered skin tone, generic beauty face, reshaped body, exaggerated curves, enlarged lips, plastic skin, excessive smoothing, extra fingers, fused hands, duplicate limbs, broken knees, floating cup, multiple drinks, straw, sunglasses, black tights, trousers, tight blazer, oversized handbag, bag floating above bench, wooden park bench, warped metal rails, opaque shelter glass, empty studio background, wet street, extreme bokeh, fisheye distortion, harsh flash, cinematic color grading, blurry face, CGI, illustration, cartoon, watermark, added captions, prominent brand logos.
